Best of Santorini Customized Private Tour

Michael_S, June 2026

Our tour with Theo was...

Our tour with Theo was excellent. He was very accommodating with our start time, taking into account the projected wait times for tendering from the cruise ship and riding the cable car. Theo proudly and passionately shared the history of Santorini and its landmarks, while also encouraging our input on which stops to make and how much time to spend at each location. His flexibility, knowledge, and enthusiasm made our time on the island truly worthwhile. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend touring with him.

Great customer service

Although I was unfortunately unable to join the tour due to an unexpected medical situation, I was extremely impressed with the level of customer service provided by the Viator team and the tour operator. I notified them shortly before the tour, and they were incredibly understanding, responsive, and supportive throughout the entire process. They made a stressful situation much easier and ensured I felt taken care of every step of the way. Based on the professionalism and care they showed, I have no doubt the tour itself would have been excellent. Highly recommended, and I hope to book with them again in the future.

Way to See Santorini

Dimitris was amazing. We saw the highlights of Santorini plus other places off the beaten path. He knew shortcuts and minimized our being amongst the crowds of tourists. He was a kind guide and photographer. We have over 60 photos together thanks to Dimitris. Cannot recommend enough!

Great tour - ask for Christos!

My husband and I had a personal tour with Christos. We had already completed two tours in the morning, and Christos ensured our tour with him only included new places we hadn’t already seen. His local knowledge of the “must dos” made for an unforgettable experience. Do the tour and ask for him!

Small group tour, Wonderful guide

Wonderful small group tour in Santorini. Guide was friendly, spoke great English. There were 16 people in our group. We had a van with AC that was comfortable. Stops were nice. Enjoyed free time To explore. Enjoyed the black beach area where you could swim or grab a bite/drink at one of the many local restaurants along the beach. Great day in Santorini. Would definitely recommend a tour like this vs a ship tour where they have many more people and large tour buses. Enjoyed the smaller group.

Fantastic tour of Santorini

Sakis did an amazing job and was incredibly knowledgeable about the different areas of the island. The complimentary water was a very welcome touch. From the moment I booked, communication was smooth, and selecting my pickup location was hassle free. It was a fantastic tour I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Santorini. He also spoke English very well.

Had a little trouble with...

Had a little trouble with communications between myself and the driver as I am not that familiar with What's App. but we finally connected and had a fantastic time. Lisandro was our driver and he was the greatest. He was very knowledgeable, funny, engaging and very helpful when we were getting in and out of the van. He took us where we had asked to be taken and allowed plenty of time for our visits at each stop. He also tried to park as close as possible so that we didn't have too far to walk which was greatly appreciated. He made our stop in Santorini very special and we appreciate all that he did. We arrived back in town in plenty of time to not feel rushed to make the deadline for the last tender back to the ship.. I highly recommend this tour to any who want something specialized to their requests and for having smaller groups.

An Amazing full day tour exploring Santorini

This was an amazing 10 hour tour with our knowledgeable and passionate tour guide Gregory. We started off at one of the venetian castles and went to different parts of Santorini and were given enough time at each. It was mind wobbling as to how much we learned from Gregory about the island, the people, the tourist industry and such. It was a good decision to buy the tickets at symposium for an hour and a half interactive and very much fun music show. We had amazing time at the winery tasting the wines, eating lunch at Perissa beach, and just about everything we did with Gregory ending our day with watching sunset in Oia. This is one of the best ways to explore the island and learning the history. Great way of spending a day in Santorini !!

Informative and enjoyable private tour

The Santorini private tour was a great choice. Dimitri was very knowledgeable and helpful. He asked what we preferred always and made great suggestions to optimize our time on the island. We enjoyed the tour very much and the AC and cold water was very much appreciated.
